Physical Properties Chemical Properties

Good conductors of electricity Less reactive

Good conductors of thermal energy Slow to corrode (react with oxygen)

Hard & Strong Form coloured compounds

High density Can form more than one type of Ion, e.g. Fe2+, Fe3+

High melting points (except Mercury) Used as catalysts, e.g. Nickel for manufacture of margarine.
